Floors and Coverings Inspection
Ensuring Flawless Finishes for Your Property
Every step you take is supported by a solid floor. With our Floors & Coverings Inspection, we uncover hidden defects before they become costly. We look at tile, hardwood, vinyl, laminate and carpets. We test for flatness, levelness, moisture and adhesion. We look for bubbles, loose sections, cracks, and warping. Our reports are clear, simple, and we deliver in 24–48 hours. We rank risks by severity. We ensure Dubai code compliance and help you avoid accidents.
Why Floors & Coverings Inspection Matters
Damaged or uneven flooring can be a trip and fall hazard that can harm your family or visitors. Mold, rot, and structural decay from hidden moisture underneath coverings lead to expensive repairs. The loose tiles or boards move underfoot, decrease the life of your floor coverings, and increase the maintenance costs. Shoddy installation of your flooring can permit boards to cup, crown, or buckle, spoiling not only your floors’ appearance but also their function.
A wrinkled or stretched floor covering doesn’t just look bad, it’s also unsafe. Landlords are required by Dubai’s RERA and Municipality codes to provide safe, level, and dry floor systems at handover and resale. With our professional inspection, you can identify the defects that developers and contractors often ignore and help to find the early opportunity to confront problems before they become a headache and affect your investment.
What We Inspect
Our certified engineers examine every layer from surface to substrate to give you a complete picture of your floor’s condition.
- Surface Coverings: We inspect tiles for cracks, chips, and grout gaps that allow water ingress. We check hardwood and laminate for cupping, crowning, warping, and gaps. We look over vinyl and engineered flooring for bubbles, lifting seams, and edge deficiencies. We examine carpets for wrinkles, seams, stains, and proper stretch.
- Subfloor & Underlayment: We measure moisture levels in concrete and wood subfloors to ensure they meet installation tolerances. We test self‑leveling underlayments for flatness and adhesion. We check for layer delamination that can cause surface failure.
- Flatness & Levelness: We record Floor Flatness (FF) and Floor Levelness (FL) numbers using industry‑standard F‑number gauges. This tells us if your floors meet smoothness and tolerance requirements for your chosen coverings.
- Installation Quality: We verify correct expansion gaps for wood and laminate. We check that tile grout mixes and sealants follow manufacturer guidelines. Proper spacing, edge clearance, and adhesive application are all confirmed to prevent future defects.
Our Four‑Step Inspection Process
- Consultation: We begin by discussing your flooring materials, installation history, and any issues you’ve noticed.
- On‑Site Assessment: Our inspectors perform visual checks and use moisture meters, straightedges, and FF/FL gauges to gather data.
- Technical Testing: We measure subfloor moisture, test adhesive bond strength, and record flatness and levelness numbers. We document carpet stretch and tile adhesion.
- Reporting & Recommendations: Within 24–48 hours, you receive a detailed digital report with annotated photos, clear explanations, and a prioritized action plan.
